PROBATE: WHAT IT IS & HOW TO AVOID IT — PART 1

Posted by Unknown | Feb 10, 2023 | 0 Comments

During probate, the court supervises a number of different legal actions, all of which are aimed at finalizing your affairs and settling your estate. As your firm, one of our primary goals when creating your estate plan is to keep your family out of court and out of conflict no matter what happens to you. Yet, as you can see, if your family has to go through probate, your estate plan falls woefully short of that goal, leaving those you love most stuck in an unnecessary, expensive, time-consuming, and public court process.

What is the difference between a Revocable and Irrevocable Trust

Posted by Leslie M. Stovall, Esq. | Jan 14, 2022 | 0 Comments

While there are numerous different types of trusts available, when it comes to passing your home to your heirs, the two most commonly used trusts are a revocable living trust and an irrevocable trust. When using a revocable living trust, or living trust, you are free to change the trust’s terms or even terminate the trust completely at any point while you are living, thus the term “living” trust. You typically act as your own trustee during your lifetime. An irrevocable trust is (as the name implies), irrevocable. This means that the terms of the trust cannot be changed, and the trust cannot be terminated once it’s been executed. When you transfer assets into an irrevocable trust, you relinquish all ownership of the assets, and the trustee you have named takes total control of the assets transferred into the name of the trust.

Can I hire an injury lawyer if I got a ticket for a car accident?

Yes. But it depends if you are partially at fault or fully at fault for the accident. Even if you got a ticket you may not really be at fault or may only be partially at fault. The State of Nevada follows the modified comparative negligence standard. As long as you are found to be less than 50 percent at fault for an accident, hire a lawyer you can still collect compensation if you are injured. If you have been injured in a car accident and are questioning whether or not to hire a lawyer, please feel free to give us a call any time for a free case review

Is Your Current Will legally Valid?

Posted by Leslie M. Stovall, Esq. | Apr 15, 2021 | 0 Comments

last will and testament can ensure your wishes are respected when you die. But if your will isn’t legally valid, those wishes might not actually be carried out, and instead the laws of “intestate succession” would apply, meaning that the state decides who gets your stuff, and it’s very likely not to be who you would choose. A will is a baseline foundation for any estate plan, but it might not be enough to protect your wishes. A will does not keep your assets out of court, and it does not operate in the event of your incapacity. A will alone does not ensure your loved one’s receive your assets protected from unnecessary conflict or creditors.
